I'm using Geokit gem to query mappable records within some distance to a mappable user.
When geocoding an address such as "Madrid", lat&lng represent a point, in this case the center of the city. Suppose I have some records with location "Madrid", which are mapped with lat & lng to the center of the city. When querying for the closest record, the inaccuracy of the address will prevent the query from working appropriately. If the user's close to the center, records that are anywhere in the city might be returned anyway. A similar effect would happen if the user's location is inaccurate. Is it possible to take into account the "size" or "fuzziness" of the location in geokit queries? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
